My Comments notes for Elizabetha Mertz
Elizabeth is buried right beside her brother, Jacob, and their tombstones are similar and so at one point was mistaken as Jacob’s wife.
There was a different Jacob — a cousin — in Berks County in the early 1800’s whose wife was Elizabeth. They had quite a number of children.
